I ended-up buying a rifle online today .... and not one that you'd probably suspect. It's for taking down to the cabin (now I can shoot skunks from a distance !)
It needed to check these boxes:
.... less tactical looking than an AR (if wanted, could put in rear window of pickup truck, without a concern)
.... but uses same boolit (sic) and mag compatibility with an AR
.... able to switch my new Vortex StrikeEagle scope with QD mount onto it in a jiffy
.... won't break the bank, since I've spent beaucoup money on ammo, and gun stuff lately !
.... reliable, and sweet !
Came up with this, and pushed the buy button. (stock photo, for now)
Grab-A-Gun will send it to USDS
Ruger American Ranch .223 /.556 that uses AR magazines !
Thanks, gangster !
Thanks, gangster !
Hey, I noticed that you were considering joining a new outdoor range. Like you, I spent some time down at Hoosier Hills with Tarzan, and really like that place.
So, I decided that I was going to attend their next meeting, and join. Not that it should influence your decision, but if you join HH ..... we'd likely to be outdoor shooting buddies down there this summer.
I calculate that their next meeting is June 20th, but will verify with Tarzan.
....... and even more relaxing, there is an advance course for laying with the trees. (and yes, I actually do this often ! .... and have an Army surplus rain poncho for keeping the dirt off my back)
Please sign-up for these courses at your earliest convenience . I learned the art of retirement from my uncle, who used to say: " it's nice to do nothing, and then to rest ".
Haven't made up my mind yet, but it would be great to be able to shoot together there this summer
Even if I don't join HH, I'll make time to come shoot with you and Reed.

You're all asleep (or perhaps have a life
Perhaps a photo will stir an old memory, or a smile .
This is my good buddy, Annette, who lives with my cabin caretakers on the property to the south. This photo was taken about (5) years ago, when she was still young. Now, she's a powerful 135 lb. German Shepherd. I hug her neck, and she hugs back in her own way.
